Grease cap removal

I need to pull the grease cap off of my rear bearings (97 taurus) in order to put a new bearing on. Any one know how they come off? Do they pull off or screw off? I tried to pry it off with a screw driver but it didn't work.

Re: Grease cap removal

I have not had one off, but from the diagram and description in the factory service manual, it appears they are just a pressure fit, not threaded. The service manual also directs you to replace the grease seal/cap.

It is just a resistance fit. The cap is tapered.

Stick a small screwdriver in it then another one 180 away from it.

It should pry right out.
